On windows, it happens that a driver prevents the Live process to be killed. Turn OFF or disconnect your MIDI controller/sound card, and the Live process should vanish.

Kind regards,

Yeah, thats what i meant by "corollary" device.

I was like What when you said that.

I know thats what you meant by it, but really hard to tell what was the problem though.

That is to say, when I save and close, Live will only die after spamming End Task several times. It's like I have to choke it to death.

This has happened consistently on XP SP2; I don't remember if it happened on my Win2K, i want to say yes.

So fix this Ableton.

Hi,

I'd contact [email protected], about this. It is slightly different: we're talking here about a reason why the Live process doesn't go away because of USB devices drivers. Live crashing on quit after a few hours of use sounds like a different problem. Write to support, providing the info asked for on that page:

Kind regards,

Amaury ~ Is this Just a M-Audio problem?

I'll inquire about this on M-Audio's forum if it is.

If you're using MidiYoke you've got a candidate. Live + MidiYoke (output mostly) = bad karma

Regarding Windows Task Manager for killing processes - it's useless. This is much better:

this usually happens because the ASIO driver is locked up for some reason. This usually never happens with standard windows or WDM drivers. - meaning that Live has crashed, but the Live thread is locked up with the ASIO driver. When this happens, I don't know of any other way than to reboot.

Hi,

As for the problem I'm talking about, no, it's not related to M-audio. It happens with other brand devices.

hey Amaury! Can you recall the first version of live that had this problem. I would like to know what version I could go back to until we get these problems fixed. I don't recall having any issues with live 6. Maybe I'll try there and see. All though I thinks maybe I ran out of unlocks for 6.

on another note, man I can't believe what horrible luck I'm having with this program. urrr I'm frustrated!!!

Hi,

As far as I can recall, it happened with all versions of Live, at least 5, 6, 7, and again, this plus other facts lead to think it's more of a Windows/driver problem (windows not terminating some connection when the Program crashes) than a Live specific problem.

But the bottom line is: do you have that many crashes with Live? Please contact support, they surely can help you.
